Structure and Rules | Harbor Sober Living

CORE VISION

A Haven for Restoration

Beyond simple lodging, we supply a base of self-respect and community-led aid intended to build long-term personal autonomy.

A retreat crafted for tranquility and ease, providing a premium recovery space where each element bolsters your journey toward health.

This home is strictly free from all substances. Two weekly tasks will be designated to you. Treat peers with kindness; reach out to management for conflict resolution. Tidy your sleeping area and make your bed daily. Daytime hours (9 AM – 5 PM) are for work or service unless it is a day off. Employment or community service is mandatory for all, including those with restricted income. Clean all kitchenware and surfaces immediately after use. Maintain a spotless bathroom environment for others. Secure all personal meds in your designated storage. Narcotics require manager disclosure and safe storage; maximum one-week supply allowed. Abuse of prescriptions results in immediate discharge. Participation in Wednesday 7:00 PM AA is required for those not at work. Attendance at Sunday or Wednesday house meetings is obligatory. Tasks must be finished and documented via group photo by 7:00 PM on due days. Active presence in the digital house thread is required.

Order is built to aid your progress while preserving the grace and calm found within the walls of the Harbor House.
